iSCSI target issues - iSNS, management, functionality etc.
some related iscsi target questions.
1. using server manager - file , storage servers - iscsi, i've added iscsi virtual disk , created iscsi target points it. have isns role running, supports iscsi target discovery. have other (non-microsoft) software targets using isns.
but how register microsoft iscsi target isns server? looks possible microsoft iscsi software target v3.3: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg232638(v=ws.10).aspx. can't find registering isns servers anywhere in iscsi ui under server 2012 rc.
2. there doesn't seem way of managing iscsi targets don't have iscsi disks configured ui. if delete iscsi virtual disks target (but don't delete target), iscsi targets no longer show in iscsi targets part of ui.
3. there way of attaching real physical (not virtual) pass through disk iscsi target? starwind iscsi target allows this.
4. possible connect iscsi target on same server? doesn't seem work - "connection failed". the starwind iscsi target allows this.
the v3.3 target didn't allow per http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/en-us/winserverfiles/thread/d202f326-092b-4783-85b7-cdeb7240bedb/. limitation still in place built-in 2012 target?
this needed when need iscsi allow multiple cluster hosts connect same target shared storage (e.g. cluster), , 1 of cluster hosts need host iscsi software target. case when have limited number of physical servers.
hi,
thanks posting!
1. isns server registration can done using powershell cmdlets. please check following blog.

2. yes, disappear ui. however, if select virtual disk , able add target.
3. no, have use virtual disk.
4. doesn’t make sense use computer both iscsi target , iscsi initiator. in test environment, can create virtual machine , configure iscsi target.
